Default Me and Bmw's

A fortnight ago,on the way to Merry Hill shoping centre i got cut up by a BMW.He then beat me to a disabled parking spot,i was having a bad day walking was on both crutches.He had no badge.Drove round parked next to him ,came out from shopping and was pleased to see he was booked £35 fine.
Last week a Bmw on my bumper for a mile in a 30 zone,so i drove at 30mph,put my blind up .That got him mad,so he over took me on a bend,there was an un marked Policecar following us.His lights come on went after and pulled him over.
Today i saw a police speed check up ahead,a Bmw was again on my bumper.So could'nt see the van.He over took me put his foot down and the camera caught him.
What is with Bmw and Audio driver's.

Their problem is that they don't think you should be on their road when they are using it.

A day from the diary of a BMW driver...

"The other day I was cruising along as usual coming onto one of my
motorways, which was very busy with inferior cars.

First off, I couldn't believe that the volume of traffic DIDN'T slow down
for me AT ALL as I came off the slip road! I had to squeeze into a barely
big enough gap between two cars in order to get onto my motorway!

The driver of the car behind me did realise his mistake though and honked an
apology to me with a long blast of his horn.

Unbelievably, I had to do the same again before I could get to the BMW lane.

Anyway, once I was in the BMW lane and posing along at 110 mph enjoying the
adulation that the inferior car drivers were giving me, I noticed an
inferior car ahead of me which was not only in the BMW lane of my motorway,
but was driving at a ridiculous 70 mph!

Naturally, I got within a foot or so of his rear bumper and flashed my
headlights to remind him he shouldn't be in the BMW lane of my motorway and
to get out of my way.

Of course, once he realised it was a BMW behind him, he did just that, but I
could hardly believe it when he pulled straight back out behind me!

He also tried to keep up with me and when he realised I would out-run him,
he put on some blue lights in his front grill and urged me to get onto the
hard shoulder so that he could congratulate me on my excellent car.

Needless to say, I was eager to oblige and when we had stopped, the man gave
me a piece of paper confirming what I already knew - that my car goes fast!

Apparently he wants everyone to know what a superior car I have, so I had to
take my drivers licence to a police station to be sent away to have some
points put on! (They're not free points either - they're £20 each and I was
only allowed 3.) But the man at the police station said that because I drive
a BMW, it won't be much longer before I earn the full 12 points, and then I
won't even NEED a driving licence, so they will take it off me!

See, now THAT'S the sort of respect you get when you own and drive a BMW! "

Or, if being tailed while travelling at 50 - 60 or 70mph, I always think it's a suitable time to clean my windscreen.

Another one to try whilst on the motorway when someone gets right up your chuff flick the lights on they think its brakes and usually go for a stand on the brake peddle moment it sort of tells them there getting to close

Us rover drivers are more refined.They never seem to get much further than the next set of lights.We just waft along get there in one piece and alot less fuel used.
